Board formalizes MacBook replacement schedule amid supply-chain concerns
Summary
Trustees approved formalizing the MacBook (MAC air) replacement schedule and process earlier than usual to avoid supply delays; the motion passed unanimously.
The Wink-Loving ISD Board of Trustees on March 3 approved a formal MacBook replacement schedule and process intended to ensure device delivery ahead of the next school year. Administrators recommended moving the approval earlier than normal because of possible supply-chain issues; Trustee Melissa Halterman moved to approve the MAC air replacement schedule process as presented, Trustee Carrie Purcell seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Technology Director Mike Dawkins previously reported network work is on hold due to fiber construction issues and that the district is repairing numerous laptops (14 sent for repair with additional damage noted). The board’s action gives district technology staff authorization to proceed with the vendor-schedule procurement process so devices arrive in time for the 2025–26 school year.
